Please identify the two trees/shrubs whose photo webpages are posted
here. The photos were taken mid-May around a library and an apartment
complex in northern New Jersey.

Tree 1, five photos. My guess is chokecherry, however the trunk does
not look like the one saw in the book:

Looks more like Black Cherry, _Prunus serotina_, but chokecherry
_P. virginiana_ is pretty similar in flower.

No, that's one of the shrubby honeysuckle [Lonicera] species.
Not all of them are vines; some are shrubs. At least some of
the shrubs are often considered troublesome weedy exotics, but
they're attractive as cultivated ornamental shrubs.
